2 The significance of the wartime American helmet case

The symbols on the helmets used by the generals were erased because they were afraid of enemy snipers. Marked helmets are generally used in the safe rear.

Generally, the front of the helmet is the rank and the back is the symbol of the army. Only 10 1 Airborne Division's helmet is printed with playing cards of diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts.

American helmet front pattern:

Lieutenant is yellow, lieutenant is silver, and captain is two silver bars.

Major is a golden maple leaf, Lieutenant Colonel is a silver maple leaf, and Colonel is a silver eagle.

General Brigadier General is a silver star, Major General is two silver stars, Lieutenant General is three silver stars and General is four silver stars.

A five-star general is five silver stars.

There used to be a marshal in the American army, Marshal Pershing. He is also a five-star star, but not a silver star, but a Venus. He didn't take part in World War II, so he didn't have a helmet.
